.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a hypervisor that runs guest operating systems inside a
virtual machine.
.Pp
Parameters such as the number of virtual CPUs, amount of guest memory, and
I/O connectivity can be specified with command-line parameters.
.Pp
.Nm
runs until the guest operating system reboots or an unhandled hypervisor
exit is detected.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Fl A
Generate ACPI tables.
Required for
.Fx Ns /amd64
guests.
.It Fl b
Enable a low-level console device supported by
.Fx
kernels compiled with
.Cd "device bvmconsole" .
This option will be deprecated in a future version.
.It Fl c Ar numcpus
Number of guest virtual CPUs.
The default is 1 and the maximum is 16.
.It Fl C
Include guest memory in core file.
.It Fl e
Force
.Nm
to exit when a guest issues an access to an I/O port that is not emulated.
This is intended for debug purposes.
.It Fl g Ar gdbport
For
.Fx
kernels compiled with
.Cd "device bvmdebug" ,
allow a remote kernel kgdb to be relayed to the guest kernel gdb stub
via a local IPv4 address and this port.
This option will be deprecated in a future version.
.It Fl h
Print help message and exit.
.It Fl H
Yield the virtual CPU thread when a HLT instruction is detected.
If this option is not specified, virtual CPUs will use 100% of a host CPU.
.It Fl l Ar lpcdev Ns Op , Ns Ar conf
Allow devices behind the LPC PCI-ISA bridge to be configured.
The only supported devices are the TTY-class devices
.Ar com1
and
.Ar com2
and the boot ROM device
.Ar bootrom .
.It Fl m Ar size Ns Op Ar K|k|M|m|G|g|T|t
Guest physical memory size in bytes.
.Pp
The size argument may be suffixed with one of K, M, G or T (either upper
or lower case) to indicate a multiple of kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes,
or terabytes.
If no suffix is given, the value is assumed to be in megabytes.
.It Fl p Ar vcpu:hostcpu
Pin guest's virtual CPU
.Em vcpu
to
.Em hostcpu .
.It Fl P
Force the guest virtual CPU to exit when a PAUSE instruction is detected.
.It Fl s Ar slot,emulation Ns Op , Ns Ar conf
Configure a virtual PCI slot and function.
.Pp
.Nm
provides PCI bus emulation and virtual devices that can be attached to
slots on the bus.
There are 32 available slots, with the option of providing up to 8 functions
per slot.
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Ar slot
.Ar pcislot[:function]
.Ar bus:pcislot:function
.Pp
The
.Ar pcislot
value is 0 to 31.
The optional
.Ar function
value is 0 to 7.
The optional
.Ar bus
value is 0 to 255.
If not specified, the
.Ar function
value defaults to 0.
If not specified, the
.Ar bus
value defaults to 0.
.It Ar emulation
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Li hostbridge | Li amd_hostbridge
.Pp
Provide a simple host bridge.
This is usually configured at slot 0, and is required by most guest
operating systems.
The
.Li amd_hostbridge
emulation is identical but uses a PCI vendor ID of
.Li AMD .
.It Li passthru
PCI pass-through device.
.It Li virtio-net
Virtio network interface.
.It Li virtio-blk
Virtio block storage interface.
.It Li virtio-rnd
Virtio RNG interface.
.It Li ahci-cd
AHCI controller attached to an ATAPI CD/DVD.
.It Li ahci-hd
AHCI controller attached to a SATA hard-drive.
.It Li uart
PCI 16550 serial device.
.It Li lpc
LPC PCI-ISA bridge with COM1 and COM2 16550 serial ports and a boot ROM.
The LPC bridge emulation can only be configured on bus 0.
.El
.It Op Ar conf
This optional parameter describes the backend for device emulations.
If
.Ar conf
is not specified, the device emulation has no backend and can be
considered unconnected.
.Pp
Network devices:
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Ar tapN Ns Op , Ns Ar mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
.It Ar vmnetN Ns Op , Ns Ar mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
.Pp
If
.Ar mac
is not specified, the MAC address is derived from a fixed OUI and the
remaining bytes from an MD5 hash of the slot and function numbers and
the device name.
.Pp
The MAC address is an ASCII string in
.Xr ethers 5
format.
.El
.Pp
Block storage devices:
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Pa /filename Ns Oo , Ns Ar block-device-options Oc
.It Pa /dev/xxx Ns Oo , Ns Ar block-device-options Oc

.Ar block-device-options
are:
.Bl -tag -width 8n
.It Li nocache
Open the file with
.Dv O_DIRECT .
.It Li direct
Open the file using
.Dv O_SYNC .
.It Li ro
Force the file to be opened read-only.
.It Li sectorsize= Ns Ar logical Ns Oo / Ns Ar physical Oc

.Xr vmm 4 .
.El
.It Fl u
RTC keeps UTC time.
.It Fl U Ar uuid
Set the universally unique identifier
